Hey all,
I did a search here but couldn't find any opinions about this. I'm wondering how everyone feels about Guild's introduction of a stoptail version of the Starfire IV. I have a feeling the purists might not be fans of the stop bar tail piece because it isn't vintage correct. To me the stoptail version is appealing because it'll stay in tune better than a Guildsby, plus it's the only way I can get a new Starfire in emerald green. I'm more of a dots and binding kind of guy than block inlays as well, so from a visual perspective I like the neck on the IV better than the V. I have a picture of a green IV with a Bigsby, which would also be awesome, but I have a feeling those are rare as hen's teeth. Anyway, very interested to hear your thoughts on this. Thanks for reading!
